Just thinking. Wouldn't it be just too cool if Buell would make a modular bike that you could convert from a two-wheel ULY to a 3 wheeler like this for cold weather use. Actually HD could do this with the V-Rod platform. Probably never be converted back to a 2 wheeler. I'd love to haul arse to the grocery store in this baby.

Get a Ural, at least the 2wd will help you in the snow.

For cold weather use, I just want snow tires in motorcycle sizes. Stupid scooters get all the fun.

Snow tires suck, get a Snow Claw

Snow claw + Ural = Hummer owners that are jealous.

Too much like a car -- way too much bodywork, it's heavy and leans the wrong way in turns!

If you want a trike, there are trike conversions to add to your Buell.

looks like the front of that Zap was modeled on the Ducati 999.

Get a Servi-Car, they're two wheel drive and they have kickstarters.

Unfortunately I can't see that working too well on anything vaguely resembling asphalt. But it would be fun for playtime off road.
